Big Night For Miranda Lambert At The CMAs

The Country Music Association Awards may have looked like The Miranda Lambert Show for most of the night on Wednesday, but, according to The Washington Post, it was Nashville hitmaker Luke Bryan who took home the biggest honor as Entertainer of the Year.

Bryan, now really the most powerful artist in the genre, became emotional as he accepted the prize on stage at the CMAs — his voice quavering as he thanked his family. And hoisting the trophy, he wrapped up his speech with his signature, blinding-white smile and the words: “We’re gonna have a good time tonight.”

Lambert certainly did, continuing her award-show reign by landing four wins — the most in the room — out of a field-leading nine nominations.

For the fifth straight time, she was named Female Vocalist of the Year. She also won Vocal Event of the Year (for “We Were Us” with Keith Urban); Single of the Year (for the reflective “Automatic”); and Album of the Year (for the dynamic “Platinum”).

The night’s biggest surprise: Newcomer Kacey Musgraves, who grew up in the same East Texas area as Lambert, picked up a win for Song of the Year for her critically acclaimed, controversial single “Follow Your Arrow.”
